Capsule Inn Osaka

Older establishment, probably the 1st generation of capsule accommodation. Pod is narrow & with a bulky TV blocking the entry. You need to be careful not to knock your head against it. Layout very inconvenient - shoes & luggage on 1st floor, bathhouse/shower on 2nd floor, small locker for clothes on 4th floor & capsule pods on 5th floor. Need to go up & down all the time. And only ONE lift to serve all 5 floors & hundreds of pods. Most of the staff doesn't smile & don't speak a word of English, except for one kind young man. Bathhouse where the pools & sauna are is a very rundown area. The only saving grace is that the pods area felt quite clean on my bare feet - no slippers provided. Although it'll be ungrateful to say that it's a bad stay, but surely doesn't feel like a place I would like to return to.

An old world charm pervades this place which stands in bold contrast to the garish but fun entertainments on the street level. Spa / onsen worth the entry price alone. I was lucky but earplugs would be a good cautionary measure and if you’ve got tonnes of luggage worth deciding what you need access to as lockers are on a different floor to the capsules . There’s also a locker section for those only using the spa and locker shoes as well . It all makes sense but a bit confusing initially !

Having had a nice experience of a capsule hotel in Hiroshima I thought I may as well stay at one in Osaka as well and I wasn't disappointed. The bedding here was slightly more comforting (duvet) and the addition of the onsen was an incredible bonus. An oasis of calm amidst what is a rather garish district. I'd definitely come back assuming a solo trip. My only advice would be to bring ear plugs as a cautionary measure incase of snoring.

The Roman was good but I've had better. Or should I say my favorite more to my liking but it's still a good bowl of ramen. And location is good.

As a seasoned traveller, I can say this single stay beats the best hostel experience in Europe. From the cleanliness of the toilets & locker rooms, the extent of the bath and sauna facilities, the organization and service you’ll receive, to the sound-minimising layout design of the capsules themselves means you’ll get a nice rest here on a budget. At least I did on my stay

I have stayed in hostels in about 50-55 countries, this one might be the one that I dislike the most, Booked with Agoda for 3214yen in Agoda i could get breakfast for 584yen so I asked for breakfast and I paid 3895, next morning there's no breakfast, maybe renovating. Next morning they tell me I paid without breakfast. When I went to bed "capsule" it was so cold maybe 10°c and I packed my self in, and fell asleep woke up at 3am because I had a headache and was sweating, maybe 35°c. But also a kompressor room in the sleeping area that was rumbling all night... Just wow

It is a perfect place to stay for a solo tourist. Very clean and quiet whilst located in the middle of Osaka. Nice spa and sauna, a lot of vending machines with any kind of goods. Highly recommend.

A relaxing stay. A real Japanese culture experience public bath, hot bath, sauna. An adult, male only stay where you can be comfortable with or without clothes on. Surrounded by busy nightlife establishments but very silent, relaxing, refreshing and peaceful place.
